A Reappraisal of the Ascending Systems in Man, with Emphasis on the Medial Lemniscus

This volume of Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology is based on material assembled by Dr. Jaap H.R. Schoen who was one of the few neuroanatomists to apply the Nauta method to human material. Gaining insight in the consequences of longitudinal damage to the human spinal cord is necessary before reimplantation of the avulsed rootlets or an autologous transplant can be performed in man.
